Romney: White House botched response to Benghazi attack

October 9, 2012

By the time Team Obama said, “bring it on,” Romney already had. Once again, the one is caught leading from behind!

Lexington, Va. • After weeks of refraining from dipping back into the sensitive topic of the attack that killed the U.S. ambassador in Libya, Mitt Romney on Monday criticized the administration for being slow to label the assault terrorism and faulted its overall handling of the attack.

The assault on the diplomatic mission in Benghazi “cannot be blamed on a reprehensible video insulting Islam, despite the administration’s attempts to convince us of that for so long,” Romney said. “No, as the administration has finally conceded, these attacks were the deliberate work of terrorists who use violence to impose their dark ideology on others.”
